  I suspect that you posted your question to the wrong thread

  This requires only a minor change to the script above actually.

  Something like that

  $groupName = "group"$accountName = "user"$accountPswd = "password"$accountDescription = "A user"
  
  $esxlist = Get-VMHostforeach($esx in $esxlist){    Connect-VIServer -Server $esx -User root -Password "password"
  
      Try {      Get-VMHostAccount -Id $groupName -Group -ErrorAction Stop | Out-Null    }    Catch {      New-VMHostAccount -Id $groupName -GroupAccount | Out-Null    }

• What ESXI host NIC will use when the membership of the AD?

  What ESXI host NIC will use when the membership of the AD?

  I have a domain on ESXI host controller and I want ESXI to join the AD? I need to create a vmkernel for the goal?

  Hi Welcome to the communities,

  It will use the management network, which uses vmk0 as a default, no need to create a new vmkernel.

  Then look up what vmnic is connected to vmk0 in your installation.

• 5.1 ESXi host disconnects

  One of our guests 5.1 ESXi 4 disconnects the VC. All the virtual machines on this host seem to work just fine however I can't do simple things like fast vMotioning all vm it. An attempt led to a vmotion taking an hour than to throw an error of something like its take too long.

  I spoke with vmware support, and they say that the problem is related to one of my volumes in my SAN. I have a PS6110E EqualLogic and the firmware and the firmware of hard drives are up to date.

  When I ssh host and cd to the directory of Volumes and try to list the contents of the directory, it crashes and I have to open a new session in Putty. When I go in the volumes directory and replace the directories by a known volume of good, all right. I can see its content very well. Opening upward the Group Manager indicates the volume of the suspect as having enough available disk space and there is no alarm. Access to command line with this volume name, however, results in a lock upward.

  VMWare support says I have a problem with this volume and that seems to be the case, but while I wait for a response from support, I thought I'd see if someone might have any idea what I can watch in the meantime.

  Thank you

  Dave

  The problem had nothing to do with the SAN, it turns out that. Apparently, there was a sort of hang up handshakes between the host and the VC. I had a difficult start to the host and restart the VC too to restore the handshake between the two. All right.

  Thank you

• ESX 4.0 U1 host disconnects the VC

  Hey people,

  I'm working on my test bench trying to put on after a stop of 6 months.  I changed my ip address, in everything from virtual machines, host esx (alone) and iscsi (openfiler).  I could work very well using webaccess.  My VC works very well.  So my DC.  All are virtual machines.  The problem is that I connect to the host at the VC and all is well for anywhere from a minute to three minutes and then VC loses the connection to the host.  I clik on the host esx and clik 'connect' and I connected again for the above period.  I unplugged the host several times and then reconnected.  No change in problem.  I searched some vestige of the old ip addressing, which could cause the problem but can't find anything that I have not changed.  I have not stopped all my VMs and restarted the esx host.  I restarted the services and vpxa mgmt.  Someone has an idea of what I'm missing here?

  , You update the DNS records for the host ESX and vCenter Server?

• How to upgrade an ESXi host from the command line

  Sorry for bumping an old thread. I'm new to ESXi. I'm under ESXi 5.5 build 1331820 and I am at a loss how to apply patches.

  Preferably, I would like to apply all the relevant patches through console (SSH). Can someone give me pointers how to do this? Thank you

  Moderator note (a.p.): branched to a new discussion of software patch to version 1331820?

  Welcome to the community,

  on how to patch a ESXi host from the command line, please see for example http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2008939

  Basically download you the latest hotfix package and install it using the command esxcli . That said, please make sure that your hardware is supported by the patch that you want to apply (see http://www.vmware.com/go/hcl). You can also do before installing the patch, is to do a "dry - run" to know what . VIBS are removed and which are installed by the patch. To do this add -dry - run to the esxcli command line.

  In the case where something goes wrong, you can revert to the previous state by pressing SHIFT-R , while the ESXi hosts begins the start-up.

• vROPs - you can create a report to show when a virtual machine has changed and what has changed?

  I can't currently developing a report/view that can show me what I'm looking for.  I thought since it's related capabilities vROPs can keep track.  Is there a way to see the when a virtual machine has changed and what has changed?  Looking mainly vdisk, vCPU or vRAM.

  Thanks for help or suggestions.

  Hi newbski1,

  There are few things you can try to help him with this.

  1. the events view shows you changes in resources, it is not terribly detailed, but it will help

  2. depending on your version, you can also view in Configuration Manager that is part of the vRO suite that will show you the changes to configurations.

  See you soon

• 5.5 ESXi hosts disconnection of the vCenter 5.5.0b

  Good evening.  I recently deployed some new hosts HP BL465c G8 running the HP OEM install ESXi 5.5 (not the one just released 02/18) and the two hosts have been disconnect from vCenter four times in the past week.  I can sometimes connect to the host via ILO and restart the vCenter agent, but more often without having to start the host hard.  In addition, one of the VMFS5 content of the data store disappeared and the virtual machines residing on this data store have declined because the hosts could not find the configuration of the virtual machine files. Strangely enough, the data store showed spaced used and I could see all the directories within the CLI, but not vCenter client or Web-based Client.  I have two tickets to windows with VMware from HP support team, but I wanted to know if someone had a similar problem.  I'm tempted to rebuild with the latest OEM installation or rebuild as 5.1 or 5.0 if version 5.5 is not fully cooked.  Thank you.

  Scott

  The issue proved to be the OEM HP install and specifically the pilot v1.1.7 for HBA QMH2572 adapters that it contains.  We have rebuilt our 5.5 ESXi hosts using installation OEM HP published 02/14 (contains recommendations
  v1.1.12 pilot) and that solved the problem of stability.

• ESXi hosts disconnected/no response in Vcenter after upgrade (4.1 = > 5.5)

  Hello. I'm upgrading our current infra (hosts/Essential licensing Vcenter / 3 ESXi 4.1).  vCenter Server has been upgraded OK, so I started to esxi upgrade hosts one by one.

  Upgrade process is OK, but after the reboot, upgrade marked as "not responding" in vsphere client server. I could ping this host and connect via ssh.

  When you try to reconnect the client host, got a strange error "this edition of vCenter only supports 3 host (s) in the inventory. After 3-4 hours of nothing to host

  has begun to show ok. After upgrading a second host, the same situation. I don't understand, how to solve it without waiting for another 4 hours.

  Restart of host management agents does not help.

  I remember I have a similar situation in the past where the number of licenses does not update as expected, i.e. required some time. What helped was to restart the server vCenter Server in my case. Maybe worth a try!

• Disconnect the Vcenter/Cluster host and addition of new implications of Vcenter.

  All,

  We had to rebuild our vcenter on a separate box, because the database on the old one is completely messed up.  Successfully, we have disconnected hosts stand alone and added to the new Vcenter inventory without problem.  We wanted to know if there are problems with HA/DRS power off and disconnect a host of vcenter which is currently in a cluster.  Then add it to the new vcenter to manage.

  Thank you!

  No problem.

  Simple disable HA, tie your host for the new Victoria Cross, and then reactivate the cluster functions.

• Host disconnected from Vcenter. cannot restart both agents

  Hello

  Following this thread: http://communities.VMware.com/message/1993369#1993369

  After 1:30 the host where the rescan HBAS was issued, became disconnected from Vcenter.

  I tried to restart the agent from the console, but he was hanged.

  I happened to have logged on esx, so I stopped the agents and restarted, but it hung for 1 / 2 h from "usbsarbitrator." I left.

  Looks like I need to restart the server, but I have the feeling that all the virtual machine running (OK for now) on this topic will be off and restarts automatically via DRS at best or not at all, if for some reason any DRS does not work (because of the issue of the host).

  To make matter worse, vcenter is running on this host at the moment.

  Is there a way to 'reconnect' vcenter to host this way can I vmotion all the VM on it before restarting the host?

  Thanks in advance

  Is you are using ESXi version connect the host using putty and run below command

  restart the /sbin/services.sh

• Can upgrade you 5.1 to 5.5 ESXi host using the zip file?

  I read the KB articles which seem to indicate that, to upgrade an ESXi host, you must use a vSphere Manager or an ISO on CD or USB.   But I saw someone go from 5.1 to 5.5 by downloading a zip file and running the commands, as indicated in http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 2008939.

  When you connect through the vSphere client, it seems to indicate that it has updated to 5.5, but I fear that this may not be an upgrade path has officially supported or may be missing something.

  Anyone here can comment if you can upgrade between the press point with a zip and and the upgrade of the above method fix?

  Thank you

  Yes, it is a supported upgrade path, take a look here: VMware KB: methods of upgrade to ESXi 5.5

• Satellite L500-1UU - disconnect the battery when it is connected to the AC adapter / CC

  Hello world

  I have purshaced new Toshiba Satellite L500-1UU
  CPU: Intel (r) Core i3 CPU M330 2.13 GHz
  Physical memory: 4096MB RAM
  Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 6.1.7600

  My question is: remove the battery when I use my computer laptop while its connected to the AC adapter would be wise or not? This would increase or decrease the life of the battery, or it will not affect anything?

  Is i3 processors have a technique of centrino disconnect battery power whent, it is fully charged?

  What do you think of this?

  Hi Khaild Essam,

  I agree with Akuma. There is no problem, remove the battery when the AC/DC adapter is connected. If you can do it. In addition the battery charge will be stopped if it s at full charge. The laptop consumes energy to AC/DC adapter only.

  If you remove the battery and work with AC/DC adapter only, the battery life will be improved a little because it s not in its use.

  I found an interesting document for you:
